• fine..due to encouragement by the sandwich freak's supplier...here is the update *caution:  long update since the lack of update from before* :

  
  

  LA was interesting.  if you know me, then you know i've always been fascinated by LA for some odd reasons.  maybe its because disneyland is in so cal, maybe its the shopping, or maaaaaaaaaaybe...just maybe t.v. has had some LITTLE influence  (okok, i lie...t.v. has a lot of influence to it...and again, if you know me, i live my life vicariously through t.v. )...but something was different this time that made me not have such normally warm and fuzzy feelings towards so cal. 

  
  

  during the 4 days...things were great...don't get me wrong. it was fun hanging out with richard, charles and co. south of downtown LA. it was fun going to malibu at midnight and walking on hella soft sand with kathy and some of her friends (might i add, a really really really nice girl called erica).  and of course it was way groovy hanging out with alan at marina del rey and going swimming and eating and looking around for places (hollywood and venice beach) and living life as a housewife. hehe.  yeah, things were great...the sights, everything.  but i dunno...just being down there those 4 days left me with such an empty feeling.  besides certain areas of glamour and glitz (aka beverly hills, downtown LA, westwood), a lot of it wasn't what i imagined.  and no, this wasn't my first time down to LA but i guess i've only really seen it now.  and i dunno..feels like a lot of people are really superficial down there and they really just give off the impression of "lets talk about me me me and waht i have and what i own and what i wear and what i drive and blah blah blah".  and the traffic was horrendous...because stupid people like to drive all separately in their own BMW or mercedes to show off their social status i guess...stupid people...car pool dammit and spare the air.  sheeesh.    i dunno..its not like i didn't know about the bad traffic and the superficialness...but i guess i just feel it more.  i felt like there was no substance in the place at all.  just plastic and silicone.  oh yeah, and stupid girls in little ass white skirts and high ass heels parading down westwood in like pretty chill weather...ummm...yeaaaah.

  
  

  but besides all that...had a fun time getting $1.25 vietnamese sandwiches in west minster and dude, were those the best sandwiches i've ever had...dunno if it was the price or actually the sandwich but it was daaaaaaaaaaamn good. hahaa.  i had kathy bring me back 3 when she came back up, hence, the alias name of sandwich freak's supplier . hahaha. 

  
  

  also had a fine time, as i mentioned above, putting my future profession into practice - domestic engineer - minus the cooking and cleaning and laundry and stuff. ahahhaa.    ahaha.  by the time i woke up (usually around 1pm or 2 pm), alan was of course off to work in the city by then, and so i lounged around, watched some t.v., made the bed and cleaned up a little, got ready, went to go work out at the hotel, then went for a little bit of sunbathing and swimming in the awesome pool there, and then came back and got ready to go out to dinner (mmMMmm C&O and cheeeeeeesecake factory) when alan came back home at 6.  hehe it was fantabulous!

  
  

  flying to so cal was fun.  now..dunno if i have been watching too much alias recently or whatever, but felt like i was on an operation for some important rambaldi mission. ahahhaa. j/k j/k.  yes, too much alias.  but yeah, it was awesome cause i've never flown short distance before like that.  or at least hardly.  it was awesome.  hehee. 

  
  

  next time...gonna update about my day of blindness and dive deeper into what i mean when i say dilated pupils are no fun. hahaha.    <-- that was me on monday. ahaha
